<p>Object Profile SpA is a company based in Santiago, Chile, founded February, 2012.</p>
<h1>Why Mankind needs us?</h1>
<p>Programming environments are significantly better now than they were ten years ago. However, these improvements over time have not been homogeneous. Code execution profilers and test coverage tools have not evolved at the same pace than, let's say, code editing or software versioning. The reason for this stems from the fact that profiling code or executing tests is tremendously difficult and presents serious technical challenges. Identifying the root cause of a slow or unreliable software performance is challenging, even with state-of-the-Art tools. However, we are up to the task. </p><br>
<h1>How do we work?</h1>
<p>We work really hard on understanding how to make software better and faster. We regularly evaluate our ideas against international panels and committees. All the ideas implemented in our profilers have been published at top scientific forums and venues.  While the research is carried out in an academic setting, Object Profile makes sure that our ideas do not only exist on paper. We conduct research in our <a title="http://www.dcc.uchile.cl" class="op-a" href="http://www.dcc.uchile.cl/" target="_blank">affiliated University and research center</a>, where we concretize our ideas in Object Profile.</p>
<p>Our products are open source, under the MIT License. They are currently available for <span class="plataformsInfo"></span>. Our products are easy to port to other Smalltalk dialects. If you wish to have a flying profiler or test coverage tool on your favorite Smalltalk, then send us an email, as we love challenges.</p>
<h1>What does the future bring?</h1>
<p>We are constantly understanding new aspects on how software systems are executed. Our pipeline includes: a continuous server integration to monitor not only the test coverage but also performances; a code execution duplication to identify what is unnecessarily executed more than it should be; and a load balancer. </p><p>If you want these awesome tools be ready to use, and can't wait for their completion, please send us an email.</p><br>
<h1>The Object Profile Team?</h1>
<p>The Object Profile team gathers together internationally recognized, bright and experienced engineers. We are currently three. </p><p>We spend a lot of time in academic facilities, and industrial settings. To avoid schizophrenia, we make sure that our research effort is directly funneled into product development.</p>
<h1>Who are our competitors and how are we different?</h1>
<p>We have no competitor in the market we are currently targeting (users of VisualWorks and Pharo). Profiling and testing activities are usually carried out either with legacy systems (e.g., ATProfiling and MessageTally) or in an ad-hoc fashion. Outside VisualWorks and Pharo, some solutions exist especially in the Java and .Net world. However, they are not as expressive as ours, especially at giving indications on how to easily improve the software execution or increase the test coverage. Our products are the fruit of extensive research carried out in an academic setting. Check out our publications for more details.</p>
